That's far too many retarded people going to see Superbabies and Anacondas.

 

[Eminem]

17 mil for Hero? Awesome. What a great movie.

 

[jett]

I wonder if Hero will have the legs of CTHD.

13) Garden State - $2,750,000

Woot.

I wonder if Hero will have the legs of CTHD.

It won't, even though I think it's a better movie.

 

[HAOHMARU]

I saw a preview for Suspect Zero and it sounded like an awesome story...is it getting bad reviews or something? I was looking forward to this, and that one guy that played Ghandi is in it too.

 

[Miburou]

Why did it take so long for Hero to get released in the US?

It wasn't going to be released until Quentin threatened to have Uma go all "Crazy 88's" on Miramax if they didn't release it.

 

[Lambtron]

$13 million for Anacondas? That's a fucking travesty. :\

I start screaming at the TV every time I see previews.

It needs to hurry up and get to the cheap theatre so I can have a good laugh without spending $8.

 

[karasu]

Hero beats CTHD's opening weekend. A new record for a subbed movie, w00h00.

 

[Paradox]

Yay for Garden State,Bourne Supremacy and Collateral.

 

[AniHawk]

Napoleon Dynamite: $22,447,000

The budget was $400,000. Pretty good.

Who gives a shit that Anacondas made 13 mill? Has it somehow made your lives worse? It's a cheesey ass B movie with a few cheap thrills, big deal. I wouldn't watch it for free myself, but I'm not gonna feel all downtrodden because other people did.

It's mostly been dogged by reviewers, much to my confusion. Many of them are acting like it's the death knell for the whole serial killer genre and inexplicably complaining about the story being too dark and "unpleasant," which is just moronic. I didn't realize that these kind of movies were supposed to be all rosy and sweet...

Overall, I thought it was really solid; a good first hour, while the last thirty-odd minutes take on this fantastic hushed presence with very little dialogue and some great cinematography in the wide open mid-West. My only real complaint(s) about the film are that Mackelway should've been played by someone more interesting than Aaron Eckhart and Carrie-Anne Moss' character didn't even need to be in the story (which would've kept a brief but terribly out-of-place romantic encounter from rearing it's head).

Who gives a shit that Anacondas made 13 mill? Has it somehow made your lives worse?

Well, in a roundabout way, yes. When drek like that makes money, it only encourages the studios to make more of this junk, which will end up taking theater screens and eventually profits from better, worthwhile movies.

Man the fact that Anacondas made almost $14 million dollars just goes to show that we Americans have no idea how to pick a good movie. I say to anyone who wasted $10 to see that movie "Real Smooth, You Fucking Genius"

 

[Shinobi]

Seriously, did any of you even watch Anacondas? Though I suppose if you did, you'd be part of the problem. :lol

If this movie had made $50 million in three days, that'd be something to get uptight about. $13 million in today's age is nothing to write home about. And if it's out two months ago, it doesn't even make half. This weekend just looked slow as hell to me, so dedicated movie goers had to see something.

Real moviegoers should've gone and seen Hero or Garden State or Collateral or Open Water or any number of decent flicks out now. That is no excuse!

Open Water sucked!

 

[Gantz]

I can't believe the suckers who went to see Hero thinking Tarantino directed it. Hero was visually beautiful but the story and acting was pretentious.

You're forgetting a little movie directed by Mel Gibson, I think.

 

[ChumsGum]

I'm happy for Jet Li.

 

[DarienA]

Hero will probably have no legs... but it's SO cool to see it have a decent opening weekend... kudos... now hurry up and get Danny the Dog(or whatever the new title of it is) released!
